So, we have never been advised before to export our CANVAS classes, download them, and then save to Onedrive, but now we are being warned to do it quickly. And we have used the platform since 2018, if not before. Are people on other campuses being told to do this by May 11? Or does your IT crew have their collective act together and download the classes regularly?
A moment ago I saw a student of a foreign language in tears, standing in the office of their professor, thanking them for four wonderful years of study and giving them a gift. And profusely apologizing for the crying. It is so nice to see somebody being appreciated for their professorial accomplishments.
HOU-ELP this morning and a Spanish-speaking couple had too many items, one of which was their very cute little dog in a carrier. A gate agent came and checked one of their rollerboards, with the help of a random passenger volunteer interpreter. But when they went to get on the plane they somehow had too many bags again and the second gate agent tried to tell them in English that they needed to consolidate.
They didnt understand, so the GA removed the fanny pack of one of them and forcefully shoved it into another open bag. "No cabe," said the passenger, but the GA kept shoving and then handed the bag to the passenger. The encounter, on a not-full flight, took a couple of minutes while actively boarding.
Are GAs penalized if they just "let it go" in this scenario? Because I would be confused and a little frightened if I that happened to me. I could have translated except I was in the next boarding group, waiting at the stanchion.
Is what the sign at the gate says.
Us: We'd like to check our carryons for free
GA: We are not asking for bags on this flight
Us: But the sign says [points to sign]
GA: The sign always says that.
Does Kafka run this airline or what
